Description

Midnight Feast, winner of a Betty Trask Award, is the dark and funny story of love in a convent boarding school. When sixteen year-old Grace arrives at Mayo, she immediately falls for the mercurial and glamorously thin Colette MacSweeney.  She soon finds herself descending with Colette into life-threatening anorexia, entangled in the dysfunction that seethes below the surface of Colette’s family.  This is a new and revised edition.


‘A story of charismatic starvation (rather like an anorexic Madchen in Uniform), Evans’s prose shimmers somewhere strange and changeable between peculiarly heightened realism and sheer fever.’ – Ali Smith, Times Literary Supplement



‘She’ll give the Dublin Boys a good run for their money one day.’ – Amanda Craig, Literary Review

‘Superb’ – Kate Figes, The Independent on Sunday

‘A nightmarish tale of two convent girls’ descent into life-threatening bulimia…communicates the irrationality of childhood fears and passions as well as the incomprehensible affliction of eating disorders.’ – The Irish Times

Martina Evans is an Irish poet and novelist. She has published nine books of prose and poetry.
